funniest taxi ride - The driver was so proud of his English...he said "alright" instead of "okay," and "thank you very much," instead of just "thank you." After saying his English phrases, he started laughing hysterically, then would say another English phrase and start laughing again! I laughed so hard I cried.
learning how to play euchre

It was incredibly beautiful scenery, and great to travel and see more of China. My favorites were riding the bike through the countryside and observing people's lives out there, hiking near the tea village and seeing bamboo for the first time, and seeing bright blue sky.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
